Something I think about a lot that doesn’t end up in as much fic as I feel like it should… 

Matthew Brown survived Season 2, and the prison sentence for assault or attempted murder is unlikely to be life without parole. And after Hannibal was busted? When the whole world knew that the guy Matthew tried to kill was THE cannibal serial killer? And Matthew was sent on a mission by the guy who eventually ‘caught’ Hannibal, who was trying desperately to save lives while helpless in a prison cell? 

I can’t imagine Matthew stayed in prison long at all. He’s loose in the world somewhere.

In 2017, American film researchers recovered “Something Good – Negro Kiss,” a short film depicting a playful kiss between a Black couple which had not seen the light of day for more than a century. A long-forgotten artifact from the earliest years of American film, the sweet, humanizing vignette, produced by the Selig Polyscope Company, makes a startling contrast to the overwhelmingly racist and blackface-ridden contempory portrayals of African Americans. Four years later in 2021, archivists in Norway, halfway across the world, identified a sister short in their collections—an extended alternate cut which reveals more of Chicago stage performers Gertie Brown and Saint Suttle’s vaudeville-like routine, a theatrical, hot-and-cold romantic dynamic between two lovers which parodies the popular and controversial short “The Kiss” (1896). Both films, which had previously been lost, were known from entries in old motion picture catalogs but had been assumed to be era-typical, anti-Black “race films” until their rediscovery in the 21st century. Together with its more famous sibling, which has since been inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry, this alternate version of “Something Good” represents the first-known instance of Black intimacy ever captured on-screen.

This is a good reason to have scientific studies saying stuff like, "On average, trans people report happiness when they transition with loving family support and unhappiness when people dump acid on their head," like, yes it is intuitive, yes we knew that, but someday the study that is being passed around under the heading "water is wet," is going to be used to guide a court decision. And sometimes, when the the weather is fair and God smiles, it will result in some judge pounding the anti-trans arguments absolutely flat with a level of precise violence heretofore only seen in people making schnitzels, and that is a thing of beauty.
